A Red Ribbon Club aims at harnessing the potential of the youth by equipping them with correct information on HIV / AIDS Prevention, Care and Support and Treatment. It also aims in building their capacities as peer educators in spreading messages on positive health behaviour in an enabling environment and increasing voluntary blood donation from among youth.

Red Ribbon Club was started in Mount Zion College of Engineering and Technology in 2004. From its inception, it has been conducting various programmes to promote the objectives of the club thereby developing the social skills of the students.

OBJECTIVES:

1. To reduce new HIV infection among youth by raising their risk perception through awareness on Sex, Sexuality and HIV & AIDS.

2. To induce among youth the spirit to help and support people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) thereby reducing stigma and discrimination against PLHWAs.

3. To motivate youth and build their capacity as peer educators and change agents by developing their skills on leadership, negotiation, and team building.
